Year 6 had a visit from ‘John Johnson’, who told us all about the story of Guy Fawkes and how The Plotters conspired to kill King James.
With name tags and clues, we were able to bring the story to life and understand how Guy Fawkes was caught in the act! Listening to how they were punished was rather gruesome.
To add to our knowledge, we were then able to discover real-artefacts from the 1600’s, ones which Guy Fawkes himself may have used. We sketched the objects, described them and made links to different time periods. Our favourites were: the croft keys, the pottery purse and the table urinal.
